Copper Moss

Moss type: Moss

This copper moss is commonly found growing in medium-sized clumps In marshes, On trees, and In bogs.
It is average-sized, growing up to 5 inches (13 cm) tall. It forms in small clumps and they spread and grow quickly, and is very rigid; it struggles more than most during dry spells.
When mature, emerald kidney-shaped capsules grow at the end of short, lime green sporophytes, eventually opening up during the late summer to release thousands of spores.

It makes excellent hedges.
It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
The grass is savoury and overwhelmingly toxic and while grains are sweet and non-toxic.
